Once, I was depressed…
Quiet on the surface.
With thunderstorms inside.
Overwhelming. Suffocating.
With no light. No joy.
No love. No meaning.
Terribly lonely. Freezingly dark.
In the long hours, awake at night.
Yet, even in the storm, there is place for stillness.
Holding myself protects me from the rain.
Finding calm and peace of mind guides me towards the light.
Trusting my heart realigns the broken compass.
Step by step, it will bring me home.
